SnC 042 – Wed 06 Dec 2006

Great music from both sides of the Atlantic this week. A real mix which I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Meeting last week at this rediculous indoor ourtyard in London. Imean, bloody palm trees in London, in November, don’t be daft!The wind has finally dropped after quite a few days of really strong blow. Didn’t loose any of the roof this time though. Telephones still on. Email to Ben Verwaayen the top dog at BT yesterday. An hour and a half later, a reply, then a phone call from one of his minions to say nothing can be done. Prats.

However, I take great comfort from the fact that I won’t be dealing with one particular operating system… Reinstalling Windows – Graham Holland (Liverpool, UK)What can be said about Graham Holland’s music that hasn’t already been said in court? Sometimes silly, often daft, occasionally entertaining. But don’t let that put you off. I met up with Graham at Podcastcon UK – and what a nice guy. Check out his acoustic podcast too via:http://graham.itsafrogslife.net/ or http://www.myspace.com/grahamhollandmusicCrazy – Whitney Steele (California, USA)Just after high school in Arizona, Whitney loaded up her Jeep and set off to fulfill her destiny. She was soon singing back up for many different artists and lending her voice to sing on movie trailers and movies to pay the bills. Though she loved every minute of having the opportunity to work on these diverse projects, Whitney had a voice of her own and felt she needed to use it. Whitney met up with songwriter/producer Scott Miller and the pieces started falling together. The pair began writing and recording at The Hit House and soon after, Whitney was chosen to be the first artist as part of Westlake Recording Studios artist development program where the two of them recorded four more songs. Whitney’s music was put up on several different websites to discover the reaction she would obtain from the public. With over 9,000 hits in the first three months, the reaction is clear.Upocoming gig:16 Dec 2006 KQCX 99one FM Birthday Bash Number 2 Rich Aroma Coffee Company, Queen Creek, Arizonahttp://www.myspace.com/whitneysteeleAle Mail from Martin at The Three Horseshoes, Charsfield, SuffolkGuest Ale: Old Ale 4.1%Adnams Brewery, Southwold.A rare traditional specialty winter warmer made from East Anglian pale ale malt, Crystal malt and English Goldings hops which give a well balanced flavour of fruit, malt and roast grain on a bittersweet base.
